Haven't ever heard of that problem.

Was your old card an Nvidia? If so, you may have to clean out the old Nvidia driver garbage. Download Detonator RIP.

then installed of the disc.
iv just uninstalled and now everytime i try and install of the ati driver disc i get an illigal operation message.
realy not sure what to do

Run driver cleaner, delete the ATI folder, reboot and cancel the "found new hardware", you will get a message saying that the new hardware will not work properly due to you cancelling the installation. Then re-install your drivers ( or install the 4.3's that you can download off the net ( this is the best option because they have all the latest fixes in them) make sure you are running Windows XP SP 1, make sure you have the latest motherboard drivers installed, this is very important as they contain amongst other things your AGP drivers ( do the motherboard drivers first ! and then reboot) and all should be well. If not, then I would suggest a wipe and a fresh install with your video card drivers going in last.

SP1 is not necessary.

Me: are you saying I can't provide?
Me: cause I know I can provide.
Me: oh and I can provide money too
Rachel: why do we need money when we can just stay in our room and have sex all day?
